In England and Wales, a Commissioner for Oaths is an individual appointed by the Lord Chancellor with the power to administer oaths or take affidavits, which are written statements of evidence either sworn by oath or affirmed by an individual before a person authorised to administer oaths.
At Williams Hortor Solicitors, we have a solicitor who is authorised to draft statutory declarations, affidavits and deeds, and who can certify certain documents for clients in Ware, Hertford, Hoddesdon, Bishop’s Stortford, Harlow Town, Welwyn Garden City, and Stevenage.
Our work covers the following matters:
- Drafting a simple Statutory Declaration such as a name change
- Drafting a complicated Statutory Declaration involving consideration of several documents and/or history
- Certifying a mortgage deed or loan document
- Attestation or Oath before a Commissioner for Oaths/Solicitor
- Simple certification of copies of original documents per page
